Manchester Buddhist Centre

This friendly and informal day cov­ers the essen­tial aspects of Buddhist meditation

There will be help with find­ing a com­fort­able pos­ture; short med­it­a­tion peri­ods build­ing body and breath aware­ness; dis­cus­sions and ques­tions; and point­ers for estab­lish­ing a reg­u­lar per­sonal med­it­a­tion practice.

Special focus

We will par­tic­u­larly focus on the mind­ful­ness of breath­ing prac­tice, for devel­op­ing aware­ness or mindfulness

Although the day is suit­able for com­plete begin­ners, it is also appro­pri­ate for those who have already learned the Metta Bhavana prac­tice but not the mind­ful­ness of breathing.
